02/07/2014 - SEGA Launches New Multiplatform Franchise Strategy for Sonic The HedgehogSEGA launches NEW MULTIPLATFORM FRANCHISE STRATEGY FOR GLOBAL ICON
SONIC THE HEDGEHOGTM With SONIC BOOMTM
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO – For more than two decades Sonic the Hedgehog has been one of the
world’s biggest gaming icons, with over 70 video game titles, four animated series, and an extensive global merchandising
line to his name. This year SEGA® is excited to introduce a new branch of the Sonic universe, entitled Sonic
Boom , that will debut a new look for Sonic and friends and launch their first-ever CG animated television series, new
videogames for Wii U™ system and Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and a new toy line. The creative driving
forces behind these projects are working together with SEGA to kick-start a global campaign for Sonic Boom ™
that will excite and engage new and existing fans across a variety of platforms.
Sonic Boom’s visual
identity includes character designs inspired by the abilities and unique personalities of each of the characters while still
maintaining the core identity and values of the Sonic brand. The rich worlds of the TV series and videogame will share
a common narrative and a number of location and stylistic similarities reflecting full collaboration between videogame, TV
series partners and SEGA from the outset.
The Sonic Boom television series, coproduced by SEGA of America
Inc. and OuiDO! Productions, will debut on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and on CANAL J and GULLI in France during the 2014/2015
season. The series is an ensemble comedy consisting of 52 x 11-minute standalone episodes packed full of high-adrenaline
action. Every episode starts from a small character-driven story and explodes into an epic tale of saving the world,
robot battles and more.
Serving as a prequel to the stories revealed in the TV series the Sonic Boom video
game will deliver a totally different experience to previous Sonic games with collaborative gameplay at its core. Developed
in the U.S by California based Big Red Button Entertainment (Wii U™) and Sanzaru Games (Nintendo 3DS™) in collaboration
with Sonic Team, this is the third title to be released as part of an exclusive deal with Nintendo®. Sonic Boom
will take advantage of the innovative hardware of both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with traditional elements of Sonic games,
such as speed, also featured. The videogame will also introduce exploration, combat and a new Enerbeam tether mechanic
that will allow the Sonic Boom world to be discovered in totally unique ways.
Sonic Boom will be supported
by a robust global licensing and merchandising program, anchored by new master toy partner TOMY. TOMY’s line will showcase
the new character looks, stressing interaction between core characters, and will feature new play patterns based on both the
new game and TV series. TOMY will develop a comprehensive toy range across a broad number of categories including plush,
action figures, RC, role play, vehicles and novelty. Sonic fans can expect a high-quality, collectible toy line fueled by
TOMY innovation and energized with speed, lights, sounds, motion-activation and action-performance. SEGA will launch
a broad licensing program across multiple categories including toys, apparel, publishing, accessories, food and beverage and
more – making this one of the biggest license initiatives SEGA has undertaken in recent years. The company will
enlist many of its current partners who have had tremendous success with Sonic over the past years while seeking new licensees
to join this exciting new Sonic licensing program.
“SEGA is constantly looking to feed the appetite of Sonic
fans, new and existing alike” commented Hiroyuki Miyazaki, SEGA’s Chief Content Officer for Sonic. “The
various pieces of the Sonic Boom project, such as its unique look, mix of comedy, and action and its focus on the
whole ensemble with Sonic as the star, offer another exciting part of that universe for people to explore and enjoy.
It will be at once familiar but also new.”
Sonic the Hedgehog first appeared as a videogame character in
June 1991 and instantly became an icon for a generation of gamers. Defined by his super-fast speed and cool attitude, in the
years since he first raced on to videogame consoles Sonic has become a true global phenomenon with over 140 million videogames
sold or downloaded worldwide across consoles, PC’s, mobile phones and tablets. SEGA’s iconic blue blur has also
gone on to enjoy incredible success in many licensed areas, such as toys, apparel, comics and animation.
The Sonic
Boom TV series is a coproduction between SEGA of America Inc. and OuiDO! Productions. Executive producers on the
show are Evan Baily, Donna Friedman Meir and Jane McGregor on behalf of SEGA, and Sandrine Nguyen and Boris Hertzog from OuiDO!.
Other partners involved in the TV series include Lagardère Entertainment Rights for distribution and Lagardère
Active TV Licensing & New Business for licensing and merchandise in France.

02/07/2014 - AppAnnie Reveals New Mobile Gaming TrendsMobile Trends 2013: Overview
- More apps are being
installed on Android compared to iOS
- iOS revenue
from app purchases is higher than Android revenue
- Messengers
(WhatsApp, Viber, and the like) increase in popularity and add mobile games to in-app stores
- Russian mobile market grows in terms of both, downloads and revenue
- Productivity and Utility apps become less popular, while entertainment apps are
more in demand
AppAnnie experts are determined that
2013 was a strategically important year for mobile apps industry. Freemium model demonstrated a particular increase
in popularity, and growth rate of mobile apps in general was immense in developing regions. Japan proved
to be the most successful market in terms of revenue, as it tripled and exceeded the revenue
generated from mobile apps in the USA. Based on the
growth dynamics demonstrated by BRIC countries, including Brazil, Russia, India and China, AppAnnie experts believe that
these countries will show stable growth in 2014. Other emerging markets that are worth investing into are Hong Kong,
Indonesia, Mexico, Taiwan and Thailand. According to AppAnnie
report, mobile banking and mobile payments have grown by 55%, and so did Xsolla. In 2013, mobile payments ranked
#1, replacing cash payments from its leading position: “The
number of transactions made via mobile payments in 2013 in Russia was 1.5 times more than the number of cash
transactions. The difference in terms of revenue was not that striking, but still visible,” explains Peter
Sokolov, payment systems manager at Xsolla.
Another
important trend of 2013 is the rise of messengers. These apps initially designed for chats turned into totally
independent media platforms. Among them are LINE, WeChat and KakaoTalk, all of which feature game stores and item stores.
Messenger users — especially those in Asia — are used to making in-messenger purchases (like
animated stickers), so adding games and other items to stores is a smart strategy.
And, finally, one of the most interesting parts of the AppAnnie report
was the list of Top Apps and Publishers. It did not come as a surprise that Candy Crush Saga, Subway Surfers
and Temple Run 2 ranked #1, #2 and #3. Electronic Arts was named the best publisher, bypassing Gameloft, Rovio и King.

escape from the Empire's clutches sets in motion a series of events that touches countless lives and leads to one inevitable
conclusion.

02/05/2014 - Family Gamer TV Launces New Weekly Gaming News ShowFAMILY GAMER TV LAUNCH WEEKLY GAMING NEWS SHOW
This week sees the first outing for the new Family Gamer TV weekly news show. The program, hosted by long-time contributor
to the channel Jordan Erica Webber (video-game critic for the Observer amongst others), aims to pick out applicable gaming
news for families while also taking a look at video-game sales chart broken down by the PEGI age groups.
Andy Robertson
of Family Gamer TV said of the new enterprise, “While families will often dip in to more avid gaming sites to find out
what’s happening with the likes of Skylanders, Minecraft, Disney Infinity and LEGO games there hasn’t been video
that keeps them up to date with news on a weekly basis. We are simply filling that gap.”
•
First Episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPG41gOLoD8• Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyg_c5uZ7rcgSPN85mQFMfgFocusing on game sales by age group offers a different take on
what is hot in video-games. Titles otherwise submerged beneath big sales in the PEGI 16 and PEGI 18 category can now get more
of the limelight. It also reveals how few big selling games are found in the PEGI 12 category, something the industry would
do well to rectify.
From here the show dips into the latest news, rumours and updates on the big family games,
while also keeping an eye out for indie titles and lesser known experiences that might be a good fit for families.
Finally the show rounds things off with a look at the upcoming releases, again grouped by PEGI rating. This offers a chance
for families to plan how they may spend their gaming allocated funds a little more wisely.
Webber commented on
taking up the new project, “With so much gaming news out there, families can find it hard to know where to go and what
to trust. I want to make it easy for them to keep up to date with the news that matters to them.”

02/04/2014 - Vtree Entertainment Launches Volleyball Game with Full Body Motion ControlVTREE ENTERTAINMENT LAUNCHES VOLLEYBALL GAME FOR WINDOWS WITH FULL BODY
MOTION CONTROL POWERED BY EXTREME REALITY
Herzelia, Israel – February 4, 2014 – Extreme Reality, the only company to bring full-body motion analysis and control via a device’s
native or peripheral camera, and VTree Entertainment today announced the launch of “Volleyball Extreme Edition”
a new motion controlled game for any webcam. Player’s movements are captured through any standard camera of a Windows
operated device for a motion experience that doesn’t require additional hardware.
“After incorporating
the Extreme Motion technology into our Pro Riders Snowboard title last year, our players were thrilled with this
entirely new way to experience the game, so we decided to continue our work with Extreme Reality and develop new motion controlled
games,” said Charles Bergen, President of VTree Entertainment. “We’re excited that players who used
to play sitting down can now get up on their feet, and engage with our games in a way that is fully immersive and that does
not require dedicated hardware. When we say ‘You’re in the Game’™, we really mean it.”
Extreme Motion is one of four different game play experiences on VTree Entertainment’s Volleyball:
keyboard, controller, Extreme Motion and touch. Volleyball Extreme Edition operates on any Windows 7 or 8 laptop,
desktop, tablet or All-in-One with stunning 3-D graphics and multiple volleyball courts to test your ball handling skills.
Players can choose from 16 countries with Olympic teams to play for or against, and the opposing team's skill level increases
after each match. Players stand a few feet away from their computer and are prompted to hit the ball in the time and
manner directed by the game as if they were actually bumping, setting, spiking and blocking in a real volleyball match.
“By enabling VTree and other developers to offer new motion experiences free of consoles or expensive hardware, Extreme
Reality is extending motion controlled games to anyone that owns a PC or notebook,” said Asaf Barzilay, VP Products
of Extreme Reality. “No longer do people need to make significant hardware investments to enjoy the excitement
of this new immersive way of playing games.”
Volleyball Extreme Edition will be available for $4.99.
A video demonstration of Volleyball Extreme Edition is available here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH7dCkpR1i8.
